Author events?
by Ed Burns 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Good day. I had a local author call and ask if I know of any libraries that have events where multiple authors come, and sit at tables selling their books and talking to people. He said he’d participated in one in Monroe. We had one here a few years ago, but don’t have another one planned. Figured I’d put this out there and see if any of you folks are getting one together. Thank you. Ed -- Ed Burns Assistant Director Ferndale Area District Library (248) 546-2504 xt695 edburnsiii(a)ferndalepubliclibrary.org
